Explanation of the error “spawn react-app-rewired enoent”
When encountering this error, it means that the command “react-app-rewired” is unable to be spawned because it cannot be found in the current environment.
This error is commonly seen when using a package like Create React App with custom configurations, as “react-app-rewired” is used to override the default behavior of the scripts defined in the “scripts” section of the package.json file.
To fix this error, you should check if “react-app-rewired” is installed globally or locally in your project. First, make sure you have it installed by running the following command in your terminal:
npm list -g react-app-rewired
If it shows that “react-app-rewired” is not installed, then you need to install it by running:
npm install -g react-app-rewired
On the other hand, if you see that “react-app-rewired” is installed locally within your project, make sure all the required dependencies are installed by running:
npm install
Afterwards, if the error still persists, you can try removing the “node_modules” folder and reinstalling all the dependencies by running:
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
Make sure to take a backup of your code and any important files if necessary before executing the above command.
Once the installations are complete, try running the command that produced the error again, and it should work without any issues.
Here is an example workflow of fixing the error:
// Check if "react-app-rewired" is installed globally
npm list -g react-app-rewired
// Install "react-app-rewired" globally if it's not listed
npm install -g react-app-rewired
// Check if "react-app-rewired" is installed locally within your project
npm list react-app-rewired
// Install all dependencies required by your project
npm install
// If the error still persists, remove "node_modules" and reinstall dependencies
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
// Finally, execute the command that produced the error again
